Networking and Refreshments from 18:30. The AGM will start at 19:00 followed by the talk at 19:30.

James will be talking about cyber security and the changing approach to tackling Cyber Crime.

Here’s a few words from James, who was a web developer before becoming involved in police work.

My name is James Squire, I’ve been a part of Warwickshire and West Mercia Police since 2015 as a PCSO working on Safer Neighborhood Teams and Hate Crime Unit. In July 2018 I started a new role as the forces Digital PCSO. My new role is predicated on the premise that the majority of all Cyber Crime in relation to the public and small businesses is preventable by the implementation of basic advice and controls. It is my focus to ensure that we see a reduction in the amount of people becoming victims of Cyber Crime. It is a growing problem within the UK and is not something we will “arrest our way out of”. Simply put, prevention is better than a cure.
